    thanks for all the awesome feedback... just think.. i took these pics with my cell phone. lol. 

     

    So far i have put about 700 miles on the thing.. I LOVE IT!!! the ride is smooth and easy.. i can air up for a +3" height but it wont let me drive more than 22mph at the highest setting. and on the highway; it'll actually lower to "aerodynamic ride height"

    I started with the wheels. Being new i did not need the Deep wheel cleaner. So I only used the Green Cleaner on the wheels and some APC on the tires.

    not sure on the ultimate plans for that car yet.... i'm going to get it running this week(end) and see if there is any interest for it on CL.

     

    The second car is a 1956 Ford Ranch Wagon.

    Thunderbird 292 V8 with 3-speed manual (on the tree) transmission

     

    All original. missing hub caps and air cleaner.

    903691_10200887585169522_640081539_o.jpg

     

    Some APC

    893794_10200887584249499_332741109_o.jpg

     

    Some scrubbing...

    902231_10200887584609508_1823645953_o.jpg

     

    Some... red...

    903145_10200887587329576_368425093_o.jpg

     

    Some 1000 then 2000 sand paper and Quick Detailer... you can almost see the reflection of the garage light..

    903496_10200887588929616_46323934_o.jpg

     

    I'm thinking of sanding the entire car with the 1000/2000 combo then a clear coat over the patina...

    taking all chrome and bumpers to Denver Bumper for fix and rechrome.

    Pulling engine and trans to rebuild and make stronger for a super charger.

    doing a full OEM+ interior same colors as OE however, instead of silver piping, id match it to the brown of the patina.

     

    only thing... 2 bad rust spots... i'd want fixed... but then.. that would ruin the patina in those areas... also it needs a new rear upper tailgate. fully rusted.. but the glass is still good.

     

    Thoughts?
